Locking Self-Tapping Screw 1.5mm Stardrive for Small Fragment Plate Fixation

Description

The Locking Self-Tapping Screw 1.5mm Stardrive is specifically designed for use in small fragment and mini-fragment locking plate systems where precision, stability, and minimal implant footprint are critical. This screw provides angular stability by locking directly into the threaded plate hole, forming a fixed-angle construct that enhances overall fixation strength and reduces dependence on bone quality alone.

Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel and titanium alloy, the screw delivers excellent mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term biocompatibility. The self-tapping thread eliminates the need for pre-tapping, streamlining the surgical workflow and reducing operative time. The fine thread geometry ensures smooth advancement into bone while maintaining reliable purchase in delicate anatomical regions.

The Stardrive interface offers superior torque transmission and improved resistance to cam-out compared to conventional drive systems. This allows surgeons to apply controlled insertion forces with reduced risk of drive stripping, which is especially important in small-diameter screws. The locking head design ensures accurate engagement with compatible 1.5mm locking plates, providing stable load transfer and minimizing micro-motion at the bone–plate interface.

Available in short length options, the 1.5mm Locking Self-Tapping Screw is well suited for fixation in small bones, periarticular regions, and anatomically constrained areas. Its compact profile supports precise placement while maintaining construct integrity. The screw is commonly used in hand, foot, and other small skeletal applications requiring meticulous fixation control.

Widely utilized in orthopedic trauma and reconstructive procedures, the 1.5mm Locking Self-Tapping Screw Stardrive contributes to stable constructs, reduced loosening, and predictable healing outcomes. Its precision engineering, reliable materials, and surgeon-friendly drive design make it a trusted component in advanced small fragment fixation systems.
